The Dallas Mavericks have qualified for the playoffs for two straight years, but have been bounced in the first round. They are still searching for the right pieces to build a title contender around Luka Doncic. The 22-year-old superstar was otherworldly in the playoffs, but his supporting cast needs to improve if the organization wants to jump into title contention.
The Mavericks are no strangers to winning. Dirk Nowitzki led them to the playoffs 15 times from 2001 to 2016. They made two NBA Finals and won the championship in 2011.
